Designer Charu Parashar is taking khadi to the land of fashion -
France. Today, she will be showing her first ever collection to French
fashion lovers in Chantilly. Walking the ramp in her designs
will be French women polo players, who have overcome dyslexia.

For more than three months, Parasher, who is known for giving khadi a
rich look, has been working at turning khadi into fashion wear at her
factory in Delhi.

Parasher is not just on a mission to make khadi global. She also wants
to make her fashion inclusive. The funds from her show in France will go
towards the cause of disabled people and women.

She is doing the show in partnership with AbilityIndia. Parasher
has joined hands with Piya Bajwa, a cancer survivor and
founder of AbilityIndia, as she wants to build a school where special kids
are given education that empowers them.

The event is being supported by the Princess Diya Kumari
Foundation and will be a blend of fashion and polo.

Hi, I’m Bhavna Sharma. An Inclusion Strategist with Newz Hook. Yes, I am a person with disability. But that doesn’t define who I am. I am a youth, a woman and also the 1st Miss Disability of India 2013. I wanted to achieve something in life and I have been working for the last 9 years. I have recently completed my MBA in Human Resources because I want to grow. I am like every other young person in India. I want a good education, a good job and I want to help my family financially. So you can see I am like everyone else, yet people see me differently.

Here is the Ask Bhavna column for you where I would like to talk to you about the law, society and people’s attitudes and how we can build inclusion in India together.

So, if you have a question about any issue related to disability, bring them out and I can try to answer them? It could be a question relating to a policy or of a personal nature. Well, this is your space to find the answers!
